2 Fat Juicy Hens,no Tom or Jake. Went after him again this morning,no decoys just soft calls which of course he gobbled at. This morning he moved to the right onto some private property I can't hunt on. He went into a valley crossed a creek then headed up to the other ridge on the right which I can hunt. I went after him by making a right flanking move trying to get ahead of him. Thicker than shreaded wheat all the way with briars everywhere. My leaf suit is taking a beating trying to kill this bird. I got over near where he came out at but the Hens got to him first,I could here them clucking and purring in the valley below,game over! Had to get to work so that hunt is history. This bird will either be killed by me or he will kill me in the process. I'm 57,fat and out of shape and I can't keep this up much longer. But I'm determined to give him a couple more rounds at his roost tonight,or once again in the morning. How well can they see before daylight? Team mates help me out here I need wisdom to kill this smart mature bird!
